An exhibition, "What Becomes a Legend Most?: The Blackglama Photographs from the Collection of Peter Rogers," of 57 photographs—primarily taken by the legendary photographer Richard Avedon and Bill King—are currently on view at the Museum until June 30. Partygoers—a number of whom flew into town just for the event—enjoyed music from a string quartet of members from the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as jazz chanteuse Leslie Smith; the "Legend" cocktail by Bellocq; and cuisine from Chef Donald Link's new restaurant, Peche (opening in mid-April), a seafood raw bar from 1718 Catering, and caviar from Louisiana Caviar.
